The resolution honors the memory of Robert Darrell Jones, who passed away on February 1, 2025, at the age of 90. Born on December 14, 1934, in Mesquite, Texas, he graduated high school in 1953 and attended Southern Methodist University. Jones had a successful career as a sales representative in the furniture and supply industry and founded his own business, Darrell Jones and Associates, in 1971. He was married to Mary Lou Pollard for nearly seven decades and was a proud father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. His strong faith led him to be actively involved in his church and community, including service as a Mason and a Shriner, where he helped transport children in need of medical care.

The Texas Senate expresses its condolences to Jones's family, including his wife, daughters, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, as well as other relatives and friends. The resolution acknowledges his kindness, wisdom, and devotion to family, emphasizing the lasting impact he had on those around him. An official copy of the resolution will be prepared for his family, and the Senate will adjourn in his memory.
